1Wheeler and Blitz Class in Church.
2Frederic Wheeler, baritone, was the special soloist in the Brahms evening, May 5, at Central Baptist Church, the Rev. Frank M. Goodchild, D.D., pastor; F. W. Riesberg, organist, singing two standard songs, and the solo in an anthem. Dr. Blitz's chorus of women singers sang the "XIII Psalm," conducted by the doctor (Mr. Keese at the organ), and these special features were greatly enjoyed by the large congregation. Under Organist Riesberg his choir of twenty-four voices sang "I Would Not Live Alway" and "How Lovely is Thy Dwelling Place." The next musical service will occur Sunday evening, June 2.
4Guilmant Organ School Lectures.
5A miniature organ, with specimens of the various pipes, bellows, etc., was prepared by George Ashdown Audsley for his concluding lecture on "Organ Construction," delivered before the students of the Guilmant Organ School last Thursday. These lectures have been of large, practical value, showing the various methods of organ building, illustrated with diagrams and models, bringing the subject clearly before the minds of each one. Mr. Carl is to be congratulated upon having arranged this course of lectures and creating an interest among the students in the subject.
6S. Archer Gibson preceded the course with a lecture on "How To Make Organ Specifications." Gustav Schlette will have a class in organ tuning and repairing this month.

60THE PAGANINI SYSTEM OF VIOLIN INSTRUCTION
61THE METHOD THAT HAS REVOLUTIONIZED THE STUDY OF THE VIOLIN.
62By an elaborate system of compound fingerboard diagrams, the violinist quickly acquires an infallible mental image of the entire contents of chromatic notation of the fingerboard, thereby automatically training the mind to control the abstruse and complicated technics of violin playing. In THE MUSICAL COURIER of March 29th, Mr. Francis MacMillen writes: "A book containing every essential detail." The Literary Digest of April 13th, says: "The secret of Paganini's method of violin playing has been brought to light by an American."

70Synthetic Guild Little Students' Recital.
71The annual spring recital of the Synthetic Guild's little students at Carnegie Chamber Music Hall on May 4, brought forward a program of thirty numbers, which, however, passed off with such celerity that it was all over in less than two hours' time. The teachers, whos: little pupils played, were: Agnes Paradise, Grace G. Powis, Ethel Blankenhorn, Amy J. Tomlinson, E. K. Lente, Florence Carman, Martha E. Lamb, Hazel Ross, Lila M. Hall, May I. Ditto, K. L. Taylor, Caroline S. Simpson, Ella W. Hazeltine, Mary H. Gillies, Mabel H. Despard, Clara Krauss, Anna J. Euen. These teachers' pupils who took part in the program were, in the order of their appearance on the program: Mildred Johnson, Mary Post, Schuyler Crunden, Elsie Dardek, Frederic Cromwell, Helen Carpenter, Helene van Zandt, Caroline Mesick, Helen Littlefield, Erma Brainerd, Alice Lawrence, Durant Maynard, Margaret Henderson, Ruth Davenport Chase, Kenneth Holt, Edith Riggles, Priscilla Hall, Esther Carman, Mary Gray, Gillespie Erskine, Alice Haven, Dorothy Brainerd, Alice Beaver-Webb, Edith Adair, Henry Wells, Dorothy Lydecker, Carolyn Hall, Eleanor Fields, Mabel Besthoff, and Murray Taylor.
73College of Music Students' Concert.
74Students of piano, violin and voice of the New York College of Music, Carl Hein and August Fraemcke, directors, gave a program of nine numbers at the hall May 1, the following participating: Samuel Scheinkman, Alice F. Weismann, Marie Kröger, Mary Davis; Irene Bade, Xaver Kalinowsky, Hannah Eshenbrenner, Charles Brandt and Sylvia Schorn. Of these worthy of especial mention are: Marie Kröger, who sang "Elsa's Dream" well; Mary Davis, who showed herself a first rate pianist; Xaver Kalinowsky, who played the violin with effect, and Sylvia Schorn, who showed special talent in Reinhold's impromptu in C sharp minor.

76Schubert Quartet's Summer Plans.
77The Schubert String Quartet, of Boston, are planning to spend part of August and September with Mr. Loud, the first violin, at his summer home in Maine, where they will be very busy in preparation for their coming season's work.
78They intend to produce many novelties, such as quartets by Lalo, Sinding, Godard, Chevillard, Richard Strauss, and the one by Verdi, which cannot fail to be of interest to many admirers of his operas. They will also devote considerable attention to our American composers, namely, Chadwick, Converse and others who have offered valuable additions to the quartet literature.
80Lesley Martin Artist-Pupils.
81Nellie Hart, mezzo-soprano, recently sang a Sinding song with expression and taste. Estelle Ward, soprano, sings Weil's "Spring Song," Bohm's "Stille Wie Die Nacht" and the Stern waltz song with rare brilliancy and sustained cantilena. George P. Gillet, tenor, another Martin pupil, took part in the performance of "Cavalleria Rusticana," in Carnegie Lyceum, last week, and of his singing the Sun next day said:
82It is doubtful whether a more pleasing Turiddu has ever been presented on the amateur stage than that of George P. Gillet, who sings tenor at the Scotch Presbyterian Church. Mr. Gillet was liked by the spectators.
84Mabel Besthoff a Ditto Pupil.
85Little Mabel Besthoff, pupil of May I. Ditto, of the American Institute of Applied Music, Kate S. Chittenden, dean, gave a recital in the parlors of the school, May 3. The child has pronounced piano talent, playing with animation and musical feeling, clean cut, and everything from memory, which never once failed her. Bach, Kuhlau, Heller, Mayer, Ravina, Schumann, Chopin, Haydn and Raft were all represented on the interesting program, and the close attention of the listeners was the best compliment to both the little pianist and the faithful teacher. Margaret McCalla, pupil of Mr. Lanham, who accompanied her, sang several songs by modern composers, in French and English, displaying a sympathetic voice and musical instincts, as well as pleasant personality.
